Family of Four on XC Skis

 

It was a big day in the R-L household. Miles got his own skis and we drove out to Hyak to give them a try! He was VERY excited. He does not want to ride in the chariot anymore. Mina was equally as excited to show him the ropes.

 

Mina is that dot way ahead down the trail. Miles is trying to catch her.

Coming back to check on little brother.

 

Mina is ready to ski off again and head out down the trail.

Mina and i had a rather nice little ski and chat.

Mina and i after skiing for an hour. She wanted to turn back when she heard her brother was going to make a snowman.

 

Time to hit the sledding hill

What a fun Christmas Eve day!

As always, this time of the year is full with excitement, love and joy.

Perhaps the sweetest Santa ever. Both kids told him that they want nutcrackers for Christmas.

A pre-Christmas getaway for just us!

 

We came prepared for snow or no-snow – bike, ski, swim or run?

We had two great days of skiing!

 

Back at home – we hit the downtown holiday stops including the carousel and “gingerbread houses”

 

The Polar Express was Miles’ favourite one!

Buying injera at the Ethiopian market

Post-meal

Ski shopping at the downtown REI. Miles started “skiing” around the store. He bought the second smallest pair of XC skis available.

Ready for a sno park…
